    16"s?
    The tires I wanted were cheaper in 16 than 15 and had the size I wanted in 16". I had the correct offset wheels in 15" and I had stock 16" wheels. Spent $300 on new 16" wheels, $75 on spacers, or get 15" tires that are wider than I want and have to cut my fenders?
    I went with spacers with the expectation that I will get the correct wheels in the relative near future.

    Use blue locktite and torque to spec (100-110ft-lbs I believe).

    IF the spacer was not damaged then you could replace the studs, but if there was any damage at ALL I would replace the spacers or buy new wheels if that is in the budget.

    Unusual for studs to break on a new wheel spacer. Any warranty? With all the myths about wheel spacers some legit some not I would recommend different brand of quality wheel spacers or just get a proper wheel with the correct back spacing.
